not a lot of dim dbs last very long. Not since dave donaldson any way. It takes a lot to play S very well. But to play it at say a terry ray/hebert level not soo much. You can scheme and cover up for that for a brief while.

Pretty much. All in all its a good position to be in. All those good options in case a starting NI goes down. My personal top pick would be mo if its an extended injury, waggoner other wise, or pushing a DB back and moving the back ups up. Or a rotation of the last two. That all will really depend on how far a long waggoner is at the end of camp, and how the db battle breaks down. Fogg is a play maker and i could see him making a ton of plays at S, but also giving up a ton of big plays as well. A guy like frederick could be a great fit back there. he was soo sound in coverage last year.

yep. same here. Im still excited for woodley wonderboy but that was the real main event.

It was brought up before on here, when you develop a guy and he goes to the nfl then comes back a FA you should get some sort of compensation from the team that picks him up. After a while the draft rights are just like neg rights. Lots of vets down south have their cfl rights owned the same was as foucault. They spent the pick so it doesnt count against the NL. (from what i understand)

Mo could go back to S, we could go with an extra ni lber/dl then slide a db back and bring a di (fogg?) db into a starting spot, waggoneer/jones/morgan going in at S would probably be the move though. Looked good in very limited touches and had a solid pedigree running at laval. Really has to work on his hands out of the back field though if he is gonna be the primary back up. He incompleterson'd a few easy passed last year. Big fan of picking up miller for teams and depth too.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Guy has never been able to stay healthy, i hated that this was an interim match but loved the match up of these two. this could really crush the ppv sales.

no kidding. If that was the case idk what we would do with the draft picks. Could we just use them to fill up a big tower and swim in them scrooge mcduck style?

par for the course here in bomber land during the off season. If the redundant talk of qb2, ni wr, etc are too tiring you can allways go back and look at the doom and gloom posts of the previous years and the half dozen holes we had lol. Or the first few weeks of the last few seasons jade etienne isnt a far better then any one. Poblah had tons of talent but couldnt stay healthy. The durant fall was surprising, but rumors abound about his being a head case. And this regime doesnt have interest in that kind of player. No matter how talented. Some thing every one here has heard. Link posted earlier in the thread. You show up out of the blue, sign up, just to rant and rave the contrary to a small part of a threads discussion. There is no proof that he is a head case. It was the rumor. And it fits. You came in with nothing but rants to the contrary with no facts your self demanding facts. If one thing is for sure, we know who the head case is.

I remember at one point milt talked about doing that. Wouldnt be any less canadian then ben cahoon. Im kind of torn on the idea. But i think it would be used soo seldom it wouldnt be of much impact. At a quick glance the bombers that would be eligible would be bryant, denmark, dressler, medlock and randle. Some how denmark still wouldnt get any love. medlock would go up in desirability but not pay. dressler and bryant would make bank of it. I could see it extending the career of mid tier kicker/punters, making wrs and ol a good chunk more money and extending careers as long as bodies held up. I didnt include qbs cus ratio. If they did some thing like that id want to see the ratio go up to either 8 starters or more bench. But id also like to see more reward for 8 starting NI.

iirc durant fell a bunch because of being a head case. Which is the last thing this team wants. waud i think was pretty high percentile to go to the nfl for atleast a bit too. didnt we pass on durant twice? this is what i thought yeah.

Yeah just saw this. The fact hes going up for a super fight when he could have had woodley is the last nail in the coffin of i dont think he can make lw. I like gsp and all. But man this is another zero integrity cash grab fight. I hate it. Especially with gsps lay off, and having not fought at this weight before going straight into a title match is BS. He will probably have a couple gym heater matches to tune up but still. Idk what would be worse. GSP winning and either being stripped of that belt, or having to defend it. Or bisping beating gsp. The match making is getting harder and harder to stomach in the ufc.

its typical back up hype logic. He hasnt failed yet, so he isnt a failure. He isnt a failure so hes a success in progress. This has got to be his make or break year. Back in the day with far less high end NI talent we managed guys like jaimie stoddard and markus howell. even guys like geoff drover. All of whom make the likes of jade and richards seem sad.

Then you have special teamers and back ups that the team hopes never has to play.

dropping the number of NIs starting/ on the roster just hurts long term development of NIs. Less starting spots/spots less in the league, less spots for college kids, less draw from young kids at the grass roots level. Just when we are finally getting a fertile NI draft too. Its the canadian football league, thats why. Why not just adopt all american rules, field, players etc. The cfl is a cultural institution. Its heritage. Its not money-centric like the nfl. Its not a league you tune into the championship game to watch the commercials and half time show for. Severing those ties to a hundred years of tradition and becoming a poor mans nfl is a good way to kill off the league. Cus if you are just gonna be the nfl light, why not just watch the nfl.

That or look to snipe some one who falls in the draft nfl interest aside.

The rumor was that the bengals wanted simonise back in camp this year. With his size and speed its hard to imagine him not in an nfl camp. Bilikudi retired from football. Mulumba just signed a futures deal with the chiefs.

brock wasnt at all one of those guys. He was a physical specimen that dabbled in every thing. Skipped ball in the ncaa all together and only came back around to it. But after being the last cut just gave up on football.

Simonise has better measurables. Vandervoort has more experience at a higher level, better hands.

Id really like gray, but I feel like with our starting 5 + couture is pretty locked in. I like intzandt as a developmental guy too. Id love to see ankou and butcher together. That could be a real future twin towers esq combo up the middle for us. Id much rather have simonise then vandervoort. But similar to ankou I dont think either will be in the cfl this year. Vandervoort im sure will be. Nah fantuz had a real pro body coming out. When jade was picked he had the build of a 14 year old girl.

hope its better then rod rust 2.0 But yeah great pick up. Our ol is in great shape any way you cut it. Wow great for him. Good thing he doesnt have to fall back on that doctor money....

Didnt work out here with euclid. Dont wish him ill by any stretch. Id rather have bryant turner back then him though. And rather move on then have either back.

esks pick up euclid cummings. http://www.cfl.ca/2017/02/27/esks-add-defensive-tackle-euclid-cummings/

and stafford. but you are confusing a vocal minority with the majority.

Dont expect davis to take no2. Dont expect flanders to DI back up either. We saw how little he is used in that situation. Smith and stafford over denmark? SMH. Smith and knox are going to battle for the starting MLB spot, but the loser will be on for teams atleast.

Yeah hes probably pretty close too.
